One day at her dad's house, a young girl finds two old potatoes in
the cupboard. "Gross." But before she can throw them away, her dad
suggests they try to grow new potatoes from the old ones, which
have sprouted eyes. Told from May to September, the potato-growing
season, the story includes all the basic steps for growing potatoes
while subtly dealing with the parents' recent divorce. Just like
the new potatoes that emerge from ugly old potatoes, this dad and
daughter move on and make a new life together in the face of
unavoidable and unpleasant change. Carolyn Fisher's artwork will be
instantly recognizable from her picture book debut, "A Twisted
Tale," and her trademark high-energy art and design infuse joy and
humor into this heartwarming story.

Hello toes, our tootsie friends Hello, summer feet again! Canada's
Dr. Seuss, Sheree Fitch, is back with a brand-new tongue-twisting
picture book that celebrates all things summer. From those first
barefoot days, wobble-dy walking over rocks and pebbles, to
wandering-wild while searching for sea glass and, finally,
huddled-up cozy at a late-summer bonfire, these summer feet flutter
kick, somersault, hide-and-seek, and dance in the rain, soaking up
all the season has to offer. With Fitch's classic lip-slippery,
lyrical rhymes and Carolyn Fisher's bright and colourful
illustrations, Summer Feet will be an instant summertime favourite.
How does the nose know what it smells? How do we taste foods? What
gives foods their characteristic flavours? How do the methods of
food preparation and processing change the flavours of foods? Food
Flavours answers these questions and much more, in a clear and
understandable manner, describing the composition of flavour
compounds and the contributions they make to our sensory
experiences. The book begins with the chemical reactions by which
chemical compounds develop in plants, and continues through the
processing and preparation of foods. It then turns to our chemical
sensory systems to describe the recognition and neural processing
of these compounds in the nervous system, and the reactions that we
have to flavours. The way that chemical qualities give foods their
characteristic flavours, and the ways various methods of food
preparation and preservation affect those compounds and the
resulting flavours are dealt with in detail, both from a chemical
and a biological aspect. Throughout, Food Flavours provides special
in-depth coverage of taste/odour physiology, and it contains a
unique chapter providing a learning and problem-solving technique
that will prove invaluable to students in all areas of food
science, as well as in biological, organic and analytical
chemistry, and will be a good addition to any food technologist's
bookshelf.
